Over the next week, more than 1,300 high school students from across Ontario will participate in the University of Waterloo’s annual Kinesiology Lab Days event running from December 4 to 13.

The Department of Kinesiology within the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences at Waterloo coordinates the event, which was established 40 years ago as an introduction to the new discipline of kinesiology—the science of human movement.

Keep your long-term goals in mind to make your dream a reality, Professor Chris Hadfield told members of a capacity—and captivated—crowd that came to hear his free public lecture at the University of Waterloo today.
